A Negro Song in a Minor Key.

American Angler
All the shabbiness of the Florida foli-
age in winter time vanished in the light.
The palmettoes were lofty palms, ma
jestic against that sky. The short twi-
light passed into night; the sky grew
cold as steel; only long ray of ROSY
light fingered across it, stretching from
the horizon to the zenith. The moon,
sharp crescent, curved upward at each
end, lay in the track of that ray. From
the river shore came the sound of a
boat load of negroes, singing in their
dialect as they rowed, and in strange
minor key, a nasal chant, startlingly
like the songs of crews OH the Nile. So
startling was it that my Arab servant
Achmet. who was with me, exclaimed:
ut is Arabic they are singing;" and in
voluntarily began the familiar chant of
the Nile, ''Ya Allah, va Mrhammed,'
and in such perfect keeping were scenes
and sounds, itSomehow did not strike
me as odd until reached the boat land
ing, and woke to the fact that | had
been fishing in the Hillsborough river
i'll South Florida.

A LESSON WITH A MORAL.
When Will Our Eyes be Open
ed TO this Great Nation
al Cemetry.

The year 1886 played sad havoc
with many prominent men of our
country.
Many OF them died without warn
ing, passing away apparently in the
full flush of life.
Others were sick but comparative
ly short time. We turn to our files
and are astonished to find that most
OF them died of apoplexy, of paralysis,
of nervous prostration, of malignant
blood humor, of Bright's disease, of
kidney disease, OF rheumatism or of
pneumonia.
1t is singular that most Of our prom
inent men die OF these disorders.
Any journalist who watches the tele-
graph reports will be astonished at
the number of prominent victims Of
these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in
our paper with others to the effect
that the diseases that carried off so
many prominent men in 1886 are real
ly one disease, taken different names
according to the location Of the fata
effects.

On motion of Senator Rhea the SEN
ate has adopted n resolution appoint
ing committee to inquire into the
conduct Of representatives OF said road
in reference to endeavoring by inn
proper influences to secure the char
ter, On suggestion of the committee,
the investigation will also extend to
the conduct Of those opposing the bill,
The G. G. & r. r. is the road over
which Johnson City has been excited.
Senator Rhea takes the ground that
the purpose of the c., c., and G. Rail
road Company, by the charter it is
seeking, is to get the coal from Virgin
ia across into Tennessee and establish
"plants" in Tennessee thirty miles
from Virginia, or, in other words, they
will bring the coal and iron together
in Tennessee instead Of at Goodson,
which is in Virginia at the terminus
ofthe Norfolk and Western road that
the road, if brought by Goodson, will
meet the terminus of the East Tonnes
Virginia and Georgia railroad and
the South Atlantic and Ohio road {;
that it will run through Virginia for
much longer distance than if it goes
the way the company wants it to go,
If it goes the way the company desires
it to go, it will run through a portion of
Scott, a portion of Wise and Dickinson
counties. If it goes by Bristol it runs
through the heart Of Washington
county, through the centre Of Russel,
and on through the centre of Dicken-
son to the Breaks, all of which line
from Bristol to the Breaks is rich with
coal, iron, timber and minerals of all
kinds. Senator Rhea also thinks il
the road runs according to his amend
ment it will increase the taxable val
ues and thereby be a corresponding
benefit to the State.-Richm0nd State.
Gen. j. D. Imboden was among the
witnesses before the Va. Senate Com
mitee appointed to investigate the
conduct of the lobbyists for the G. G. &
R. R. He was rigidly examined by
Senator Rhea as to his transactions in
the matter, but to the interrogatories
he repeatedly stated that he had not
and would not, use any improper
means to secure the passage of the
measure. On Wednesday the commit
tee made its report to the Senate, find
ing nothing which reflected upon the
integrity of any member of the Legis
lature, or OF any one desiring the pas
| sage of said charter. A minority re
: port declared that no corrupt spin
: was shown, but that the compan,
! manifested disposition to pay for an.
s service rendered ; promising one pei
son money and offering money to an
other, to secure the passage of the bill
in question. BXa vote 8 to 23 tn
Senate rejected the minority report

adopted.

LATER.

A telegraphic dispatch to the Lynch
burg Advance of Thursday says After
a sharp debate in which Mr.. Rhea, Of
Washington county, ably championed
the opposition, the Senate to-day, un-
der the suspension OF the rules, passed
the bill allowing the Charleston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago Railway Compa-
ny to construct its road through Scott,
Wise and Dickinson counties. All of
Mr. Rhea's amendments were defeat
ed and the bill passed was the substi-
tute reported by the committee.
1t was made known that when the
road shall have been commenced and
all of the plans OF the corporators car
ried out, that an English company
with 100000 at their back are ready
to furnish capitol to complete it.

ed the granting Of the charter.

Cured by CutIcura.

MY little son, aged eight years, has been

covered with scabs and sores, and from
which sticky fluid poured out. causing In
tense itching and distress, ana leaving MS
hair matted and lifeless. underneath these
scabs the skin was raw, like piece of beef
steak. Gradually the hair came out and was
destroyed, until small patch was left at the
back of the head. My friends in Peabody
know how my little boy has suffered Alright
he would scratch his head until his pillow
was covered with blood. used to tie his
hands behind him, and in many ways tried
to prevent his scratching; but it was
no use, he would scratch. took
him to the hospital and to =, the
best physicians in Peabody without
success. About this time. some friends, who
has been cured by the .CUTICURA REMEDIES,
